'Siren Blood' - Margriet Smulders

Amsterdam

16.01.2010 - 06.03.2010

*Margriet Smulders* composes flower still-lives with an edge. Viewers are invited to lose themselves in the wondrous representation of flowers, fruit and voluptuous glass forms that refer to mythology and the Old Masters. Smulders uses water and other liquids to produce reflection of the visual elements in her work. In this way it is difficult not to lose oneself in the disorientating flood of bacchanal imagery.

In ‘Siren Blood’ Smulders presents a series of new, more playful works inspired by a recent trip to the Himalayas. Viewers of the exhibition will be able to have a ‘total experience’ in the middle section of the gallery; sitting on a large cloud-formed swing, surrounded by a series of dark blue, abstract works and completely seduced by the magical force of Smulders creativity.
